Reincarnation of the powerful minister

"Aren't you at home?" Prince Zhu Helin threw away the ink-soaked lake brush and asked with a frown, "He was injured just now, so he can't rest at home properly, why run around like that!"

Fu Bao replied: "Young servant said, Mr. Su has gone out for something important. If it is early, he will be back on the same day, and if it is late, he will come back the next day. The slave waited for more than half an hour, but there was no sign of anyone. He was worried that the key to the palace door would be lost, so he had to go back first." Palace. However, the servants brought all the things that the young master ordered, and the two private cooks also stayed behind, so the young master can rest assured."

Zhu Helin was still a little worried, "I'll find an opportunity to sneak out of the palace tomorrow, and I'll go see if he's back."

As a result, tomorrow, before the lectures in the Wenhua Palace have started, the Prince attends Su Yan's deeds of knocking on the Dengwen drum, breaking through the Fengtian Gate to avenge his teacher, and impeaching Jin Yiwei Commander Feng Quxi for twelve major crimes, and finally knocking him down and beheading him It was passed to the East Palace.

Zhu Helin was pleasantly surprised and praised, feeling very relieved, and said repeatedly, "Our Qinghe is amazing."Suddenly he came back to his senses, and then flew into a rage - the assassination in the Xiaonanyuan, it turned out that Father Huang, Fourth Uncle Wang, and even that Qianhu named Shen Qi knew about it, but he was the only one who kept it from him!

Even Su Yan deliberately kept it from him, saying that "the investigation is already underway", in fact, he had already collected evidence and set up a net, waiting to catch him in one fell swoop at the court meeting!

— Treat him like a child!

What's the point of him being a prince? !

Zhu Helin's eyes were red with anger, and he wished he could rush to Su Yan immediately, grab the hem of his clothes and ask him loudly.But in a blink of an eye, I feel dull again—what if I ask the guilt, isn't it just being fooled by a glib nonsense?

He asked Fu Bao in great frustration: "Master, do I look particularly stupid and unreliable?"

Fu Bao was taken aback: "Oh, young master, how can you say such frustrating words! Since childhood, the teachers have praised young master for being clever and quick-witted. It is said that you have a bit of the vigor and spirit of the late emperor, so you can't underestimate yourself."

"But why Qinghe just refuses to trust me? He would rather seek help from the fourth uncle who had molested him than come to me!" Zhu Helin sighed annoyed.King Yu's ridicule sounded in his ears again—"Too young and uninteresting, just like the rice moss flower", he resentfully kicked the rosewood armchair resentfully.

Fu Bao couldn't figure it out either, but he knew how to speak, and the prince would feel at ease after hearing it.

"Because Mr. Su doesn't know yet, the young master is already a man! As long as the young master shows the responsibility and spirit of a man, I believe Mr. Su will look at him with admiration and trust him."

These words really went to the bottom of the prince's heart.

Zhu Helin thought to himself: That's right, he doesn't know yet!But how easy is it to talk about this kind of thing... I don't know how old he was when he opened the Jingguan, and who was he dreaming about at that time... After all, it wasn't me!This is really abominable, why should I be born three years later than him!

"It doesn't matter if you are born three years late. The next 30, 60, and 90 years will all be my master's."

It was only after Fu Bao's rebuttal that Zhu Helin realized that he had muttered the last sentence out of his mouth because of his restlessness, and he was immediately filled with shame.It is said that "the city is deep, and the self-talk is silent", he really lacks cultivation, and he is much worse than his father or even the fourth uncle.

But Fu Bao's words really comforted him - no, the days to come are still long!He, Zhu Helin, will one day rule the world and rule the world, the whole world is his, let alone Su Qinghe.

It's just that "someday" is really hard to wait!

Zhu Helin sat on the Luohan couch where Su Yan slept, hugged his knees and fell into deep thought, and suddenly asked: "You just said that the father dismissed him from the post of washing horses and promoted him to the right Shaoqing of Dali Temple? 'Well, is it still there?"

"Yes, yes." Fu Bao hurriedly said, "It is reasonable for Mr. Su to come to the Wenhua Palace to attend the study on the lecture day. However, the slaves heard that the emperor seemed to have something to do, so he asked the bachelor for leave, and he will not be here soon. will come."

Zhu Helin patted the couch: "It's okay, if the mountain doesn't come, I'll be the one, I can go to the mountain. As long as I still keep this title, it will be justifiable for the young master to find him!"

In the official office of Dali Temple, Su Yan was dressed in a brand-new crimson Yunyan Buzi fourth-grade uniform, greeted the newly appointed Dali Temple Minister Guanpan, and bowed to the newly promoted Zuo Shaoqing Wen Zhengyin.

Guan Pan was about 20 years old, with a square face and mustache, and had been in Zuo Shaoqing's position for seven or eight years.He knew that this chief official had an accident, if Yu Shouyong hadn't suddenly fallen from power, he would still have another [-] years to live through, so it stands to reason that he should be grateful to Su Yan.

However, Yu Shouyong treated him well on weekdays, managed Dali Temple in an orderly manner, although he had no achievements, he did not make big mistakes, except that he failed to resist Feng Qu'e's power and fell into Zhuo Qi's case.

Thinking of this, he sighed for the old chief again.Therefore, in front of Su Shaoqing, who couldn't figure out the details, he was only indifferent, and his smile couldn't reach the bottom of his eyes, as long as his face was passable.

Zuo Shaoqing Wen Zhengyin is a white-faced scholar in his early thirties, but he is quite enthusiastic.After the meeting ceremony in the hall, he invited Su Yan to drink tea, and said with a smile: "Yesterday morning, although I was not blessed to be present, I also heard about Mr. Su's deeds. It is really wise and courageous, with unparalleled benevolence and righteousness. Mr. Su knows that you impeached Bandit Feng. The 'Twelve Chens' that I read has been published in today's Mansion Newspaper, spreading throughout the streets and alleys of the capital, and everyone who reads it praises him, saying that Mr. Su is a model of Qingliu."

Su Yan couldn't help but hear it.He understood the reason why everyone carried the bridal sedan chair, but he still felt a little embarrassed when his colleagues praised him face to face, so he said a lot of humble words politely.

Wen Zhengyin chatted with him a few more times, appearing cheerful and talkative.Su Yan felt that he was not in harmony with the other party, so he excused himself by saying that he was ordered to investigate Feng Dang, and the time limit was not enough, so he had to hurry up and bowed to leave.

"Lord Su, go slowly. By the way, Lord Guan asked me to tell you that since the Holy Spirit has something to do, Lord Su can only focus on handling the case for a while, and don't need to come to the official office to check, so as not to waste time on the way back and forth."

Su Yan thanked him and left.

Wen Zhengyin saw his back disappearing outside the door, and the smile on his face froze.He swung Su Yan's used teacup and said in a cold tone, "The young man is lucky, I don't know how long it will last." After saying that, he poured the remaining tea on the ground.

Su Yan didn't like to sit in the official sedan chair, and felt that the speed was slow and bumpy, so he ordered the guards to prepare the carriage, and went to the official office of the commander of Jinyi's army.

This is the General Administration of Jinyiwei. Now because of the downfall of Feng Qu'e, the chief executive in charge, the dragons have no leader and people are in panic.

Seeing the Shaoqing of Dali Temple appointed by the emperor to investigate the case came to the door, the four commanders and the commander came forward to greet Su Yan very attentively, and welcomed Su Yan into the first seat in the inner hall, served tea and snacks, firstly asked about his health, and then went to Feng The evil crimes, lest they be included in Feng's party, they were liquidated together.

Su Yan saw that the second and third in command of Jinyiwei were old fritters who had been in the world for a long time, and they protected each other on the surface, fearing that they didn't have a half-truth in their mouths, so they dealt with it hypocritically.

Turning his head out of the hall, he went straight to the Experience Department, asked the person in charge to bring out Feng Que's official documents since he took office, and the official files of more than a hundred households, packed ten large wooden boxes, sealed them all, and ordered people to move them out. Dali Temple.

A few commanders, Tongzhi and Qianshi originally bullied him because he was young and inexperienced. They also wanted to gossip about him, practice Tai Chi, bribe him with a lot of money, and provide some lists of "Feng Party" to let the matter go without hurting his vitality.

Unexpectedly, this Su Shaoqing was not easy to be fooled, so he directly pulled out the bottom line, digging out the document storehouse of the experience department, and everyone's faces turned green.He didn't dare to stop him, so he just stood at the gate unwillingly, with a very ugly expression on his face.

Su Yan watched the boxes being loaded into the car, smiled and cupped his hands: "The adults don't need to see each other off, I know the way back."

He Shi Shiran got into the car and left, leaving the four people looking at each other in dismay, and one of them asked, "What should I do?"

Another person said: "The official documents of the past ten years, hundreds of files, and some time to check. He can't finish checking in a short time, we must hurry up and get rid of him."

A colleague nodded: "It makes sense. If he is allowed to investigate to the end, dozens of heads will fall. At that time, you and I will not be able to escape the responsibility."

Another acquaintance sneered: "Send someone to check his details and preferences. See if he has a good name, power, wealth or lust—anyway, I have never seen an official who is truly free from desires."

Su Yan did have a headache.

Jinyiwei has 6000 people from top to bottom. There is no way and no need to check them all.

The guard of honor was better. These "big generals" were basically decorations to show the majesty of the emperor. They formed a battalion of their own, and Feng Qu'e didn't care.

The other Jinyiwei officials who are responsible for managing the accompanying guards must thoroughly investigate the safety of the emperor's travel.

Beizhen Fusi passed on the Liqin case, which has the greatest authority, and is also the hardest hit area that needs to be cleared up urgently.Because Feng Que was in charge of the Jinyi Guards and the Imperial Prison, he was in charge of the guard, filled with his cronies from top to bottom.

Nanzhen Fusi is in charge of the law and military discipline of the guard, which is basically useless.

After sorting out like this, we have to start with Beizhen Fusi first.

Su Yan ordered people to transport the documents and files to the official office of Dali Temple, locked them in the room, and went to Beizhen Fusi without stopping.

Beizhen Fusi's gate with red lacquer and copper nails is still majestic, and the prison is still gloomy, but he is no longer the prisoner's disciple who was forced to visit the prison with a food box.

He asked to see Feng Qu'e, and the governor nodded and bowed to lead the way, leading him to the deepest cell in the prison.

Feng Que was stripped of his official uniform, wearing only dirty prison clothes, sitting on a pile of moldy straw, his face was gloomy and gloomy.Seeing Su Yan's appearance, his eyes of resentment and resentment pierced through the iron fence, without saying a word.

The eunuch said to Su Yan: "Master Su wants to interrogate the prisoner himself? I will order someone to prepare instruments of torture."

Su Yan frowned: "I don't play this game, and I have nothing to say to a dying person. You tell him, hand over the list of party members, and don't gossip about it, and I will ask the emperor for him, and change it to be cut in half. Behead it. Otherwise, you will die as badly as you deserve."

Before the eunuch could respond, Feng Qu'e spit thick phlegm on the ground with an expression of extreme disdain.

Su Yan sneered coldly, turned around and left without responding to his provocation.

An official in the court, and a prisoner, if he said a word more, he would lose his price. Su Yan didn't care about the loser's eyes and hatred.

Looking back, he packed the case files of these years in the Imperial Prison into several large boxes, and also transported them back to Dali Temple.

There were too many materials to be consulted, and he couldn't complete them alone, so he thought of a trick: call all the swordsmen under him, stand in line, let them report their names and working hours, and pick out a dozen who look practical and capable. , experienced and rich.

Su Yan handed them the evidence in the black box by category and numbered them one by one to avoid loss or hiding.Then let them compare the evidence and materials to find out the specific information of the officials involved in the case, and first draft a list.

In addition, the prison cases ordered by Feng Qu'e to be investigated also need to be investigated one by one to see if there are any unjust, false or wrongly decided cases. At the same time, they can also be used as evidence to track down party members.

It took a whole day just to go to Dali Temple to report, go to two Jinyiwei official offices, move more than a dozen boxes, and select personnel.

Not to mention the huge case files that will follow, which will not be exhausted in half a month.

When Shen Shi was approaching, the officials of Dali Temple went home on duty.After a busy day, Su Yan was deeply exhausted, and the unhealed wounds on his arms and thighs were also aching.

He sat in the carriage and walked home slowly, always feeling as if he had forgotten something very important.

...Shen Qi!He almost forgot about this "righteous man" who "several lost his life".

After the Yumen hearing ended yesterday, he was busy taking care of Zhuo Qi's body and returning it to his family, and he was going to Zhan Shifu to handle the handover of duties. He didn't have time to visit Shen Qi again, so he just asked his servants to send a message.

Today, I was worried that I would not remove the documents and files related to Jinyiwei in time, and I would be tampered with and turned around all day. Only now did I remember that there is a brother who is seriously injured in bed.

Su Yan immediately ordered the coachman to change the way to Shen's residence.

When he entered the dormitory, Su Yan saw Shen Qi lying on the bed with his eyes closed and lethargic, so he stepped forward lightly, took off the newly changed gauze on his back, and checked the wound.

The day before yesterday, he refined a lot of penicillin, which was roughly enough for seven days, and he also told the maid to take the medicine every four hours.

Now after two days, the wound no longer oozes pus, and the inflammation has improved a lot. After a few days of application of penicillin, after the bacteria are completely killed, the golden sore medicine can be applied to promote the removal of putrefaction and regeneration of muscle, and the skin and flesh are bonded together.

Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief, covered her with gauze, and was about to leave the bed when someone grabbed her wrist.

He lowered his head, and saw Shen Qi's sharp black eyes, staring at him intently.

"Let me see this official robe... Not bad. You usually wear cyan and blue, and it suits you even if you don't want crimson. It's even more fair." Shen Qi said slowly, her voice still a little hoarse, "The new official is taking office. The spring breeze is proud, I don’t know if I’ve seen all the flowers in Chang’an in these two days?”

Su Yan instinctively felt that Shen Qianhu was a little angry, probably because he thought he was disrespectful and didn't care enough for his brothers, so he smiled: "I'm busy these two days, so I can't take care of you. coming."

Shen Qi tugged at his wrist, motioned him to sit on the bed, and then said: "I don't blame you for forgetting to come and see me. The strange thing is that you don't take care of your body, and your face looks haggard. Ever since Dong Yuan came back, have you Had a decent meal and a good night's sleep?"

Su Yan shook his head, smiled again, and smiled warmly: "Isn't this coming to you to play the autumn wind?"

Shen Qi said: "On the table in the small hall outside, dinner is already set, you can use it quickly." He slid his hand from Su Yan's wrist to his palm, kneaded it a few times, and then let go.

Su Yan found that Shen Qi always made a lot of small movements in front of him, not only touching his face, but also hugging his waist and thighs, and always loving to hug and chew. He couldn't help but wonder if this person suffered from skin hunger due to lack of care when he was young.

He patted the back of the opponent's hand as if he was responsible, and walked out limply to have dinner.

Eight dishes, one soup and staple food were set on the round table in the small hall outside. The combination of meat and vegetables was complete in color, flavor and taste. It made Su Yan hungry. Only then did Su Yan remember that he was too busy to eat at noon, so he randomly bought something from the street. The buns are done.

After cleaning his hands, he ate a meal, and accidentally got too full, so he had to pace the hall to digest his food after washing his hands.

The maidservant who served the meal saw that he was wearing the fourth-grade regular clothes, and his official rank was higher than that of Lord Qianhu, so she was a little cautious and afraid, and didn't even dare to lift her head when he was close to him.At this moment, he suddenly found that the man inside the official robe was clearly Yuxue's lovely young man, he couldn't help but peek at him, bowed his head and suppressed a smile, and blushed quietly.

"Qinghe, alas...Qinghe." Shen Qi's voice came from the inner room.

Su Yan thought that the injury had exploded, so he hurried in, and saw the other party lying on the pillow, his limbs stretched out, and his expression was peaceful. Under the candlelight, he looked like a resting leopard returning from hunting, waiting in the den to lick his partner's fur.

He suddenly realized that he had never seen such a relaxed and comfortable aura on Shen Qi.The Jinyiwei Qianhu had always left him with the impression of being vicious and cruel, with vicious methods and exhaustive tricks. It always reminded him of dangerous predators in the swamp jungle, who were both on guard and aggressive.

However at this moment, Shen Qi showed a defenseless side in front of him, because it was extremely rare, it seemed even more precious.

Su Yan walked over slowly and asked, "Why are you calling me?"
